Got this jacket after I saw my Geology Prof. wearing it. This jacket keeps me warm in down to 20-30 degree weather up here in Wisconsin . I am 6'3'' and 175 lbs, and the medium fits my long arms. Overall this jaket is great, but I have noticed that in high winds the sleeves are the first thing begin to feel a bit cold.

I would recommend this product.

I bought this jacket because of the strong reviews on it and the desire to try-out Columbia's Omni-Heat™ technology. I am well-pleased, the jacket keeps me warm in 1o °F and warmer weather. Additionally, I have worn this jacket in 50 °F weather and it has kept me warm but not too warm because it regulates your body heat. The only thing I wish this jacket had is wind-protection because on a windy day the wind cuts right through the jacket. With this said, this jacket has reached my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a late-winter, spring, or autumn jacket.

I would recommend this product.

I have used this jacket for every winter storm that has hit the northeastern part of the United States and it has kept me warm every single time. I also where it when I'm running in the freezing weather that stays behind after the storms.

I do not recommend this product.

This jacket keeps you warm pretty well and it looks good on me. The inside is nice and shiny too if you want to have all eyes on you, that will do it! The only thing I don't like about this jacket is that I usually wear the Columbia fleece jackets and they seem way better at being water resistant to me than this one. That said, I think this one looks nicer on me and the extra cloth near the hand holes makes this jacket more comfortable than my other fleece ones. I will be picking up more of these in the future!

I would recommend this product.

I love this fleece, especially the color, I got a blue one. In a sea of North Face fleeces in Boston, this jacket looks distinct and of high quality. It fits very nicely but it does seem to run a bit small. I gotta admit the inside part is very shiny, it's a bit distracting but other than that this product is amazing. S

I would recommend this product.

This was my second Columbia fleece jacket and I understand why it was on sale. The inside is way too flashy and like a previous reviewer said it makes you look like a disco ball. The pattern of the thermal reflective made it look too feminine. Not all thermal reflective is that stupid looking, but this one is. Also the Ebony Blue jacket pictured has an orange zipper, but when I got the jacket it does NOT have the orange zipper. So overall for the price that I paid I excepted a lot more and will be just sticking with their cheaper jackets and keeping my expectations lower.

I do not recommend this product.

I like this jacket but the quality if terrible, I have used it a couple of weeks and it already shows signs of worn in the sleeves, the lower back and the sides.

Good fit and warm, BUT terrible quality in the outside!

I do not recommend this product.

The material is fairly thin and doesn't come across as of the quality I would expect from Columbia. Also, the material for the pocket also comes across as flimsy.Secondly, the pictures show orange zips on the blue fleece, but the actual jacket has blue zips. Overall, it looks fairly dull.The fit is very nice though.

I do not recommend this product.

The inside of this jacket, while useful in retaining body heat, makes it look as though you should be attending a rave of some sort. It is way too psychedelic. The thermal reflective technology in other jackets from Columbia are both useful and stylish and I returned this jacket to get one where my boyfriend wouldn't look like he was just coming from a disco every time he took it off.
